Now here’s an interesting homebrew retro game that’s been around the block. The game is called Qwak. It’s been on many platforms: BBC, Amiga, Gameboy Advance, and most recently Windows PC. It’s a fun game that guides the player through a wild assortment of levels. You’ll be collecting fruits, gems, and treasures galore while battling enemies and avoiding traps in the stages. The game also has a two-player mode for joining in on the action. The game has the playful fun of Bubble Bobble, but it’s quite unique in it’s own right.
(Game collectors be advised: Qwak has a limited run Gameboy Advance version. Only 300 copies were made. Get your copy while you still can!)
